Environmental philosopher Kate Rawles embarks on an extraordinary 8,000-mile bicycle journey from Texas to Alaska, accompanied by a metal parrot called Koko. Her mission: to spark conversations about biodiversity loss and climate change whilst traversing some of North America's most spectacular wild landscapes.
Part adventure tale, part environmental wake-up call, this remarkable narrative weaves together encounters with scientists, activists, and indigenous communities alongside raw accounts of physical endurance and the solace found in wilderness. Rawles tackles the biggest ecological challenges of our time with intelligence and warmth, proving that one person with determination—and a bicycle—can inspire meaningful dialogue about our relationship with the natural world.
Equal parts thought-provoking and utterly engaging, this is essential reading for anyone who cares about the planet's future.
